Good Morning!

Great to see you again, it's a clear, fairly warm morning here. Sure can't complain, not to cool and no snow. Hopefully today my daughter and I can get outside and decorate our front lawn with a few Christmas things. She convinced me yesterday to buy a few artificial trees from a local store that is trying to get rid of some old stock. They were pretty cheap but pretty neat looking, the one has fake snow all over it. So we thought we would add some lights and a sleigh and reindeer that lights up. You have to do decorating while it's not o cool so today should be perfect. Anyways enough about me lets get on to the card that I'm showing you today.

This is a Whimsy challenge card for the theme Party Time. Easy enough challenge to do, especially with the holidays right around the corner. You can make a birthday card or a festive holiday card, anything to do with party's.

I added some great spellbinder poinsettias and a sentiment. My card is pretty simple but i wanted the image to really be the focal point of my card. I hope you make a wonderful party themed card and play along. I'll be checking to see some of the great creations that have been created for this theme on the Whimsy Challenge blog.

We are suppose to get a lot of snow in the next 24 hours, yuck! That means shoveling, well at least it's not cold outside. I don't mind the snow but I sure dislike when it's cold and blowing. You know that wind that chills you to the bone. I think the temperature is suppose to be seasonal. Which is okay.

A good day to craft and stay indoors.

This is a card I made using a super cute image from Whimsy Stamps called Penguins are present from designer Crissy Armstrong. This was a great image to work with, a wonderful Christmas card for someone special. Christmas is just around the corner again. wow how time flies hey.

I hope you get some cards done and that this little cutie will inspire you to do so.

A closer look at the colored image, also in the corners of the photo you can see another great Whimsy product, one is the mini Postage stamp and it was cut out with the matching die. On the top left corner you can see the seasonal ornament stamp set and that was cut out with the matching die.
